Edit: The response to this post has been amazing! I’ve just created a new video tutorial of how to style curly hair for frizz free curls. You will also love my latest ebook that’s all about curly hair.
I love wearing my hair curly, but it took a long time to say that. My hair was a mix of frizz, waves, ringlets and crazy hair until I worked out an easy routine to style my curly hair that made the most of my curls.
You might think I always straighten my hair after my 30 Braids in 30 Days hairstyles, but it’s not the case. I straighten my hair for tutorials as it is easier to photograph and restyle for the step-by-step photos.
Plus the more you touch curly hair, the frizzier it becomes. My first styling tip is stop touching your hair. The oil and dirt from your hands creates frizz and will mess up your curls.
How to style curly hair
This is my quick way to style curly hair when I want to wear it out.
- Wash your hair. Here are my top 10 tips for how to wash your hair.
- Use a conditioning treatment, or leave your conditioner on for 3-5 minutes. Use a wide tooth comb or tangle teezer to get rid of any knots. This is the last time you will comb your hair. Comb gently, as wet hair is more prone to breakages.
- Rinse your shampoo and conditioner thoroughly.
- Turn your head upside-down, and gently shake your hair to let the curls form their natural shape. I use my fingertips on my scalp to lift my hair and let the curls take shape.
- Don’t rub your hair with a towel. I squeeze the water out instead of rubbing my hair and breaking up the curls. A microfiber towel, or t-shirt is even better as they are smoother on your hair.
- Apply a curl cream or mousse. I used Aveda Be Curly Style Prep and Curl Enhancer. Apply the Style Prep first, then the curl Enhancer which has a creamy texture.
- Use a diffuser to dry your hair to about 80% dry. You can let your hair dry naturally, but a diffuser is quicker and gives more volume. I used the Anthony Nader WAHL dryer to dry my hair with my head upside down. Then I flip my hair back, and check how it’s sitting. I usually restyle the front and partline, then let it be.
- As a final touch you can use a serum or wax to add more definition to your curls. I used O&M Frizzy Logic in the ends of my curls. I also love Aveda Pure Abundance Styling Potion sprinkled on my roots to add volume.
This looks like a lot of steps, but I’ve just broken it down in detail. It takes me less than 10 minutes to blowdry and style my curly hair.

How do you style your curls?
I find plain gel too heavy. I use a spray bottle that I mix half and half, or 60/40 water and gel in. I then spray it on my hair and it helps set the curls without all the weight of pure gel. You can use this on wet or dry hair to refresh your curls the next day! ?
this is a great idea, thanks for sharing, Laurie! x
My hair too was stick straight until about 13. It turned wavy and almost to the point of curly depending on the day. I hated the frizzy mess so I started to straighten it almost every day. I am now 16 so I did that for about 3 years. My hair is not really frizzy anymore and I can just wet it and it looks decent most of the time. I feel like it never looks the same though. Some days it has really big curls then the next it has small waves. It is so unpredictable I choose to straighten it most days.
I know the feeling, and I still straighten my hair sometimes. The more I wear it curly, the better my curls are xx
Hi! I just found out recently that I have curly hair (as I know I had thick frizzy hair but I would straighten it at 410 degrees everyday for the past 3 years, I know I know, YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!) but lately I started using curly hair products and deep conditioning treatments (luckily curls are bouncing back). It is very ringlety (if that’s a word) around my face but the back of my head is super frizzy. I diffuse it and put in leave in conditioner and mousse but it still comes out in frizzy waves just in the very back. Also my ends are super curly but not my roots. Any tips? Thank you!
Hi Brooke – so glad you’ve found your curls! It’s normal to have a mix of curl types and it can take time for all your hair to recover from straightening. Keep going and you’ll see improvements over time xx
I had nearly stick straight hair all my life. Then, shortly after my fortieth birthday, my hair started looking awful, no matter what I did. It took me months to figure out my hair ways turning wavy.
Sadly, I only have light to medium waves, so I constantly struggle with my hair! It’s hard to find hairstyles that look good.
Thanks for the tips; most of it is what I’ve already been doing, but I think I see one or two changes I can make!
My hair tends to be curlier when it’s really dry and I don’t condition. Should I give up and let my hair be less curly or should I give up conditioner?
every curl is different, and you should do what you like and what works best for your curls Kendra 🙂 don’t follow the rules if they don’t work for your hair xx
Where have you been all my life? LOVE LOVE LOVE! Great advice for curly hair.
Thanks so much, Niki! xx
thank you so much! I’ve been hiding out in Sydney 😉 xx
I really need to invest in a defuser. Check out my routine
https://martell496.wordpress.com/2016/04/11/my-curly-hair-routine/
omg your hair is exactly like mine. thank you for posting this up. i feel as if I have hope for my hair. I’ve been searching everywhere for someone who has the same type of hair as I do.
Your hair sounds fab, Hira! 😉 xx
When you use a boar bristle brush, doesn’t it ruin you curls? I know it makes my hair frizzy and the only way to get my curls back is to wash the hair again… Tell me, what’s your procedure with boar bristle brushes? Thanks
Hi Stephania, I don’t brush out my natural curls, but I do brush out curls from a curling wand. I get frizz with my natural curls too. These brushes are fantastic for wavy hair and give the best shine and finish when I use a curling wand to create waves in my hair x
I wish I could find someone with similar hair as me so that I could get some tips from them. I’m at a total loss!
I’ve had straight hair my whole life. I could get a little wave if I scrunched it with mousse while wet, but that’s it. It’s also always been long – longer than shoulder length. My hair is thick and coarse.
When I hit about 35, apparently a combination of hormones and stress created this oddly curly hair that I don’t know how to manage! It’s not a consistent curl. I have tight spiral curls at the nape of my neck. Somewhat “perm looking” waves on one side of my head and less curly waves on the other side. The outer layer in the back curls, but it’s straight in the middle. OMG! I spend hours straightening it just to get it all to do the same thing. On top of the very random disbursement of curls, it’s just very very poofy frizzy once dry- and please trust me when I say I’ve tried every product under the sun. No salon treatments… I’m talking oils, creams, goo.
I can never leave my hair down and curly. If I’m short on time it’s up in some kind of knot. If I want it down, I straighten. Straightening takes SO much time. And yes, I’m sure there’s lots of color and heat damage adding to my list of issues.
I’d LOVE to know if you have any thoughts or tips!!
Hi Erica, I hear you and it’s really normal to have different curl patterns within your hair. I wore so many updos because I struggled to style my hair too. I think when you have so many different curls, you should try and accentuate your faves. For example, wear your hair out but twist back the side that is wavy. Hopefully someone else has a similar experience and can share their advice x
Hey, just wondered if there is a particular Anthony Nadar WAHL Dryer that you recommend? I need a new one after mine old one broke.
Thanks
Sheree
I have the 2400w model and it’s great. It also come with a diffuser too 🙂
i have thick,tight curls and have a hard time finding a style that i like and getting it to look and be healthy. Its not heavy so blow dry tips don’t work for me. Most hairstylist don’t want to be bothered with curly hair cause it is such a challenge, or don’t know how to care and cut it. Im in need of HELP!!!
Hi Debra, don’t despair! Check out my curly hair tutorials for more hairstyle ideas. Keep an eye out for other curly girls in your neighbourhood and ask them who does their hair xx
Oh, sorry, me again, but I also thought to ask about another little quandary of mine — I’m still just in 8th grade and at the moment, everyone wears their hair down, and straight. That however is essentially immpossible for me unless done by a professional. Do you have any tips on straightening really, REALLY frizzy, poofy, thick, wavy, (I could go on forever) curly , unruly hair? Because that really would be heaven right about now, no matter how my natural hair is. I mean I see hair tutorials (because I do sort of adore braiding my hair) that only look good if you have straight, normal hair, and I just can’t do them, because I simply CANNOT get my hair like that. I mean I really do love my locks, and sometimes I find them to be gorgeous, but I’m also just a bit sick of wearing a ponytail (and quite a poofy one I might add) every day, through lack of any other options! Please help!
I felt like this Kathleen, and I do have some straightening tutorials, but I would encourage you to appreciate your curly hair. It’s ok to be different, in fact it’s pretty awesome. Braids look great in both curly and straight hair. I prefer Dutch braids in curly hair as they really stand out. Try not to focus on what others are doing and enjoy styling your hair. Curls rock x
Hi! I have two comments 1) does this work for longer hair too? I noticed your hair goes to a few inches past your shoulders, but mine goes all the way down my back — do these tips still apply? And then 2) could you please, please, PLEASE do a few braid tutorials that work with curly, frizzy hair, because I NEED ways to control my unruly locks! Thank you so much, and I hope you’ll b able to respond or possibly give me some answers and/or advice.
Hi Kathleen, yes it still the same for longer hair. You might also find more tips in the comments here 🙂 And I’m doing a bunch of curly hair tutorials at the moment – you can find all my tutorials here https://www.hairromance.com/category/tutorials
Thanks for hosting a brilliant website full of fresh, useful and practical tips! Wish I’d come across these pages sooner – I’ve been straightening my hair since my teens when it first starting turning curly (~8yrs), and you’ve re-inspired me to try again with my natural self! Hx
Thanks so much Helen! x
My straight fine hair became curly/wavy in my 50’s. I am having trouble find products that are light enough for it and won’t weigh it down too much or make it look super oily. A lot of the volumizing products and dry shampoos that I used to use on my hair are now too drying but many products for curly hair are too heavy. Any ideas for good products for this hair type? Thank you so much.
P.S. My hair is also color-treated and is layered and shoulder length.
Hi Kathi, go for a light conditioner, I like Kerastase Cristalliste, and for styling try a sea salt spray like O&M Surf bomb or Bumble & Bumble surf spray xx
This is the same way I dry my hair, just different products. Only way I can get it to look right, except when straightening. which I rather have the curls, my hair is fine&course, VERY kinky and waves
So right now I braided my hair. It’s the end of the day and my hair is bushy and wavy. Do you think if I straighten my hair and try doing some headband curling do you think it will work? Because I think it might but honestly I have no clue.
Try the Aveda product (I don’t sell product, I have just tried them all). Don’t do the Keratin hair straightener. I did that for several years (big $$$$) and it ruined my hair. I know this sounds weird, but buy a hooded hair dryer and comb your hair straight and let it diffuse dry. You’ll have to take a curling iron to the ends. Tames the bouffant/frizz look.
Hi! I’m new to your site & love that it’s loaded with tons of useful information. Thank You!
After yrs of fighting my own curl & straightening out my clients curls, I was tired of flat (ironed) hair, I missed VOLUME. So I started encouraging curl & tried many different ways to achieve it.
My at home “recipe” for the perfect curl is:
Evening: shampoo, apply conditioner & comb threw with wide tooth comb, rinse (cool water), gently wring hair out using towel (microfiber), flip head upside down & evenly spritz •Big Sexy Sea Salt Spray•, emulsify a quarter sz amount of •Aveda Be Curly• in hands, use your fingers to “comb” it threw hair. (while head is still upside down) Scrunch hair & start piling on top of your head securing with jaw clip(s) .
Morning: (do this step even if hair is already dry, heat from dryer will “set” your style)
blow dry hair while still on top of head in clips concentrating on scalp 1st, then attach diffuser to dryer & flip head upside down & dry ends, slowly removing clip(s) till 80-90% dry.
(Fine hair: Sprinkle •Brazilian Blow Out Hair Powder• on roots & manipulate into scalp for volume)
Thanks so much Crystal! and thanks for sharing your curl routine too x
HI, just stumbled onto your website and it is already helping me. I’ve always had long hair which has been getting more wavy with age, I am just passed one year of not coloring my hair and embracing my silver. For the first year (if you can believe it) I never left the house without french braiding it. Just 3 days ago I had a very layered cut, leaving just enough length for security braid if I need it.wearing my hair down now, I am absolutely shocked at how curly my hair is now! I’m wondering if these curls are my natural aging progression or if braiding it every sinlgle day for a year has created this. I too am a wash and go person. I like leave-in conditioners but now I’m experimenting with mousse. I don’t like crunchy curls and am striving for lasting soft curls if possible. I have a lot to learn with this amazing new hair! Thanks to everyone with all your comments
Thanks for commenting Betsy! Often silver hair can be more coarse and it’s so interesting that your hair is so much curlier now. Good luck with styling your new hair x
Apologies if someone has already asked this but I couldn’t see it when I skimmed through the comments. When you comb your hair while it’s wet, does that mean you create your parting then and preserve it while you rinse and dry your hair? Or don’t bother with a parting? Or comb your hair enough to create a parting once it’s dry? Sorry if this is a pedantic question but my hair is crazy thick and bushy and I’m really keen to try these tips to see whether I can get some curl going. Thanks!
Hi Alana, I usually left my hair form a part as it’s drying. I also flip my hair from side to side as it dries to create more volume on top and let my natural part form. You can set your part when you comb your wet hair or do it after. It depends on what your hair likes to do 🙂
Do you have layers? Or is that a bad idea with curly hair making it more full and crazier?
Yes I do have layers because my hair is quite thick. If you have fine hair I’d probably do some long layers, but nothing too choppy. I like my hair to have a rounder shape when it’s curly and layers are key for this look x
My hair is thick and curly my question is when you put in your gel do you rub it all through your hair or rub it in your hand and scrunch it through you hair I’ve always rubbed gel all through my hair and run my fingers through it then scrunch it
Depends on your hair Amber, if you’re happy with how it looks then keep doing what you’re doing. In my hair, if I rub it it becomes frizzier so I just scrunch it through. Do what suits your hair 🙂
I have a lots of trouble with my hair, Like other it’s pretty curly but on the finer side. it also doesnt seem to grow much past my shoulders for some reason which makes it like to fluff up and go crazy. If i wear it curly, in the morning it looks ok and neat when its still a bit damp still, but within an hour or two it just goes frizzy and poofy. I used to straighten it a lot, but since ive moved to humid climate that’s less of an option. i might buy some mousse and try this, but if it doesnt work, I usually just do some up and some down with a small clip to keep down the poof.
Love this article!
Just noticed some comments here asking about baby hairs and frizz around the face. Lately I have been putting in one of those accordion-comb-headbands in my hair while it dries. It works great for me because the hair at least dries away from my skin and doesn’t drive me nuts within an hour
Great tip Jill! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Best ever diffuser is by Helen of troy. It’s huge and amazing. I also love curl products by catwalk. I haven’t found any other brand I like as much. I just use a bit of their curling cream and a spritz of hair spray once my hair is dry and I cam keep my curl all day with out much frizz. It really seems to define my curls all lot better than other products.
Thanks for the tips Katie! x
I do mine the exact same way. From the back, your head could be mine.
Hair twins!
I have medium texture curly hair, and I see a lot of tips and videos for long hair, but really nothing for short or layered hair. I would really like to see someone do a tutorial on hair that is short – 3″ on top – layered down to collar level, and angled around the face up to the bangs. I always end up with the top flat and wavy and the sides and back curly and frizzy!! I seem to HAVE to blow it out straight with a large round brush…..
Thanks
Hi Sher, I’ll see if I can find a model 🙂 The technique is still pretty much the same whatever length hair you have. The more you wear your hair curly, the better your curls will be. Every time you blowdry it straight you make your hair frizzier x
I was wondering if anyone could give me advice. I have wavy/curly hair, but I have a oily scalp and have to wash my hair everyday. I also try to use the sulfate-free shampoos so that my hair is more curly, but I have a sensitive scalp and it starts to hurt if I don’t use a shampoo to really clean it. I have to switch shampoos often, most of the time with half a bottle left. Are there any products you can recommend or ways to do my hair to help out with this?
Hi Kim, with a sensitive scalp it can be difficult but usually sulphate free products are gentler on your scalp and hair. Try O&M Detox shampoo or MooGoo is excellent for very sensitive scalps. Good luck x
So I do what you do (essentially) but I let mine air dry due to the lack of a diffuser. My hair is also reeeeeeeally long. I haven’t really measured it in a long time but it is all the way down to my hiney. My problem when I do the head flip thing is that my back turns out really curly and nice with ringlets and everything. But the front is only wavy with curls at the very ends. It makes my hair seem like it has funky lengths going on because the wavy is “longer” than my ringlets. My problem used to be reversed before I started flipping my head to style. I use Bed Head Curls Rock cream and Frizz Ease hairspray. I sometimes use the Frizz Ease Curl Defining Gel when it’s humid or I have more time bevause it makes my curls all hard and I have to scrunch my hair once it’s dry. Any suggestions on my indecisive hair?
Hi Haley, it’s normal to have the different lengths as your curls make your hair “shrink” and look shorter. Flip your hair over first but as you let your hair air dry, part your hair on the opposite side to way you normally wear it. Then when your hair is almost dry, flip it back to the normal side that you wear it. This will give you some more volume at the top. Make sure you’re applying the product evenly through your hair and you should get a more consistent curl. Good luck x
I recently got my hair permed and it came out looking very similar to yours. When I finally got to wash it, I didn’t have any curl products to use so I let it just air dry. It came out looking pretty lifeless and didn’t look nearly as good as it did when it was first permed. Besides the Aveda Be Curly, are there any other products you’d recommend to use (with or without a diffuser)?
Hi Maria, I’m testing a bunch now so I’ll have some more posts coming up. You can choose any moisturising shampoo/conditioner or one for curly hair. Then a curl cream or mousse. You may need to try a few products to find hte right mix, or ask your salon where you got your perm for specific advice for your hair x
This works been doing this for years.
Your hair looks like mine used to. For some reason maybe hormones my hair recently stopped curling. I only use natural products and was looking for a new one. I wanted to try the Aveda be curly but it has parabens and other toxic ingredients, I hope you are aware. Any advice would be great.
Hi Karen, our hair does change every 7 years or so, and hormones can have an impact too. I didn’t realise about Aveda. Another fave range is Original & Mineral which is low chemical but great results. You can find them online here – http://bit.ly/1jsOyUj
When I want my hair curly I spray on leave in conditioner (I have dry hair). Sometimes I diffuse it and sometimes i don’t. When it’s dry i use a shine product. I’ll try some of your suggestions tho, love going curly 🙂
please tell me some party and wedding styling tips for my hairs
i luv my curly hairs, they feel to look me like a princess in every special moment. uummaahh for my hairs….
I have really thick, fine, and dry curls that go boofy in anything weather . I hate my curls but I’m too lazy/uncoordinated to straighten them everyday. I wash twice a week, and French braid my hair while it’s wet; that braid stays in for up to 2 days, depending on whether I want to deal with them or not. Otherwise it’s twisted into a bun for work or a loose bun at the back of my neck for sleeping in. I found if my hair gets wet, it’s easier to wash it because it will dry hard and horrible. No heat, no styling, and brushed twice a day. On the rare occasion that I leave it out, it curls into really thick ringlets and waves.
Oh your hair sounds gorgeous Kylie! I think you should leave it out more often 🙂
I have mid-length curly hair that has a lot of volume, but no matter what I do to my hair the hair closest to the part (along my scalp) refuses to have volume or even curl. I end up the top of my head being completely flat until about my ears. Do you have any tips on how to get all of my hair on the same page without having to straighten it? I dont dye it, and rarely straighten, and I use a diffuser.
Hi Ashley, my hairdresser gave me a great tip at my last visit about wearing a zig-zag part. Instead of a straight part line, zig zag your hair so that it moves and your hair falls to both sides. This helps add volume at the part, and stop it appearing as a wider gap in the middle of your curls. Give it a try and let me know how you go. Also, I love hair powder for some instant root lift.
My daughter has curly hair and I’ve been learning to style and care for it as best I can. I can’t seem to find a hair salon in our area (rural) that does particularly well with curly hair. I like the layers in your hair and wondered if you could give me some details about your cut.
Hi Lynette, I wrote some tips for a curly haircut here and there’s also more photos of my hair curly and straight so you can see the shape of the cut. Hope this helps xx
I’ve never understood the “stay away from the brush” rule. I tried not brushing my hair after showering for about a week once. Let’s just say I’m thankful it was during a break. It was hideous and ridiculus. So I went back to just wash, rinse, brush, mousse, and done. I always towel dry my hair by rubbing, and it doesn’t make it look worse at all. I have big huge natural curls. I love that the toweling lets it break up into smaller more in individual curls so that I don’t look like one big swirl of cotton candy. And I have to ask- who with curly hair needs more volume? Every curly haired person I know has hair that is bigger than their entire body.
Good to hear your tips Dixie, your curls sounds great!
I have somewhat fine curly hair. I make sure to leave my conditioner in for 3-5 minutes while doing something else in the shower. I also only get tangles out during the shower when rinsing the conditioner out using my fingers and when out of the shower, I gently use fingers again. I then use a Salt Beach spray all over and scrunch gently. I also then use noddle head by Beyond Zone. I apply that all over my hands and then scrunch through all, paying special attention to ends. I then let hair air dry. IMPORTANT: when air drying, I wait for it be about 60% dry before touching (after initial applying of products). It’ll have a slight crunch it. Scrunch it gently and rub fingers through roots to give volume back ( do not comb fingers through hair from root to tip). I may scrunch again once completely dry or whenever a little volume is needed. My hair comes out in good ringlets this way. Its also very easy and healthy for your hair!
Great tips Erika! thank you x
I’m sorry … will you explain your step 6. a bit more? Do you run your fingers through your hair to get the product into it? Doesn’t that break up the curls? I have an issue with my hair being frizzy on the top of my head even though I just stepped out of the shower too. =\ I’ve been using Wen cleansing creme in place of shampoo for the last few months and can tell my hair is a lot softer now.
Hi Carol, I rub the product into the palms of my hands and with my head upside-down, I scrunch the product up into my hair. I’m not running my fingers through my curls but using a similar action to how I dry my hair with a towel. My fingers go between the curls but don’t break them up. The product is spread evenly over my hands so it transfers evenly to my hair. Hope this helps x
That’s what I thought and tried. The bottom part of the curls look great but the part near my scalp is not getting product and therefore frizzes. I guess I might try putting some product on my hands and flat handedly spread it over the top.
You can also use your fingertips to get more product in at the roots of your hair too x
I will try that. For some reason, my top layer always frizzes out. = (
I have similarly curly/wavy/straight hair and I hate spending time on styling everyday! I used to use gel to control the impossible frizz but after years of geling and scrunching and still frizzing I have finally found a no-fuss method that works for me. The key for me is a great shampoo. I started using Tricomania solid shampoo from lush with NO CONDITIONER- I know, Iknow! That’s super scary right? We tend to rely on conditioning to help those curls form naturally and quickly- but it’s ok! Tricomania is very nourishing for your hair and does little to no damage- unlike traditional shampoos. I dry my hair about 50% with a t-shirt- just wrap it up loosely and squeeze it a few times then leave it while I get dressed- and then: apply the tiniest bit of coconut oil! I put some only on my fingers, let it melt, flip my hair upside down, and quickly and gently run my fingers through my curls starting with the ends initial I can’t feel the oil any more. Then just to be sure it’s properly distributed I run a wide-toothed curly-hair comb through it gently. That whole process takes only about 2 minutes and my hair is good-to-go for the next 2-3 days. Until I HAVE to wash it again because otherwise I feel (mentally) dirty… I have layers as long as my shoulder blades and as short as my nose and this had been working for me for about a year. The best part: no style time each day! Simply look in the mirror and gently redefine your part in the morning. If you have oddly straight pieces like I do, simply twist them around your finger while applying the coconut oil after you flip right side up. Do the same with anything that try’s to frizz at the top. 😉 this might work for some of you who like me, hate taking extra time away from your sleep to style your hair everyday!
hmm. my problem is that my hair is suuuuper heavy and the curls on top of my head are always flat. I got the classic christmas tree hair D: and diffusing for me takes a REALLY long time..and then its still fuzzy and goes all limp
Maybe a different haircut could help Naiomi? Or twist the top sections with a curl cream or gel to help them form and then let your hair air dry x
Hey, I’ve been reading your page and I love the tips you give! Here is what I’m dealing with!! pppffff :((( I used to have really curly hair but I just ruined them by straightening my hair for several years.. I started wearing them curly again since last summer.. well the curls were not the same but they were getting better each time and ever since I completely stopped using the flat iron.. my curls started coming back to life but the ends were straight and very dry so I decided to cut them so I can get rid of the straight part and finally bring my natural curls back.. but ever since I cut them they just refuse to curl AT ALL!!!! I don’t know why I was expecting the exact opposite.. It’s been almost 2 months ever since I cut them and they just refuse to curl :(((( any ideas on how to bring my curls back?? I miss them sooo much!!
Hi Yiota, that’s so weird as I would expect the cut to help your curls. Maybe it’s the style of the cut? At your next haircut have a chat to your hairdresser about encouraging the curls and shaping your haircut to suit. Good luck x
My hair use to be straight as a board. With each pregnancy (3) my hair has gotten curlier, and a lot of frizz. Not to mention, more keeps coming out each time I shower! No matter how I cut it ( layers or not) I can’t get the frizz nor curls right. What are the best products and suggestions for me to try on my “birds nest”?
Hi, hormones can really affect your hair which is why the curls seem to get stronger after each pregnancy. There’s no exact science when styling curly hair and it will take some trial and error. Sulphate free shampoos are a good start, and try a gel or cream to style your curls in the method above. There are also lots of great recommendations in the comments here. Good luck 🙂
